Alpha-H The Liquid Gold Head To Toe Resurfacing Collection!

Set your alarms because Alpha-H is going to back on QVC with another amazing deal for their TSV (Today's Special Value) and you will need it.  We are talking about three amazing products with a value of over £90 for a very very special price!

Included within this deal you will find the following:

NEW Alpha-H Liquid Luxe Resurfacing Body Cloths - Yep a brand new product from Alpha-H which give simultaneous hydration and exfoliation! These hygienic single-use cloths improve the appearance of uneven skin tone, problematic hairs, blemishes, sun damage and dry flaky skin, whilst also prepping the body for, and removing excess, self-tan. Pre-saturated with a signature blend of Glycolic Acid and conditioning plant extracts, the textured side of the cloth gently buffs away dead skin cells and impurities, whilst the smooth side restores hydration, suppleness and luminosity. 

Each cloth is infused with a conditioning blend of Chamomile, Marine Algae and Aloe Vera; natural extracts with proven therapeutic and calming benefits, to moisturise and reduce irritation whilst also boosting the skin’s immune system. Rich in antioxidants, vitamins and trace elements Algae Extract actively remineralises the skin; helping to attract and bind moisture - ensuring your body remains soft, smooth and supple around the clock.

Alpha-H Liquid Gold Supersize 200ml - Naturally Liquid Gold needs no introduction is this global best seller. A powerful revitilising and firming lotion which is described as being an 'overnight facial' helping to brighten and revitalise tired, ageing skin whilst at the same time working to visibly improve the appearance of fine line and wrinkles, open pores and pigmentation. Designed to be used on a cleansed face and three alternate nights per week, using a cotton wool pad you apply to your face, neck and decolletage. 

The first time I used it there was a slight tingling sensation which wasn't unpleasant and I was expecting it, but by the second and third uses nothing further. It leaves no redness on my skin, doesn't irritate and to get the best use out of it, don't use any other cream once you have applied Liquid Gold, simply allow it to do its job. One thing to remember is that whenever you use any products which are described as being 'resurfacing', an SPF the following day is an absolute must.

Alpha-H Balancing Cleanser - Described as being a hydrating non-foaming creamy cleansing lotion is perfect for normal, dry and sensitive skin types. It has a 3-in-1 function which means that it completely removes all traces of make-up, including that hard to shift waterproof mascara, as well as toning and re-balancing the skin's natural pH level. It is nourishing, hydrating and it contains Aloe Vera which not only helps to clear away impurities on the skin, it also conditions and soothes. 

With the added Vitamin E which hydrates and neutralises free radicals, this cleanser will not only leave your skin perfectly cleansed, soft and soothed but it will also ensure it is not left with that horrible tight drying feeling which you sometimes get with cleansers.

So as you can see, you get three products which are all full or supersized for a fraction of the cost if you were to purchase them individually and you can grab them all for under £30 tomorrow on QVC right here!

Essential accessories for your mobile life!

I’m a big fan of my smartphone as it helps me do everything from run my Instagram page to even providing a little gaming entertainment. And whilst I’m constantly amazed by how much our mobile devices can do, I’ve been keen to check out some of the latest accessories that can supercharge the capacities of our little mobile friends!

What’s an Instagram feed without a good selfie every now and then? And whilst I was reluctant for a long time, I finally caved in and got myself a selfie-stick!

Although I still find the sight of people using them at tourist sites a bit annoying, they are really good fun for family self-portraits. Most of the latest models are Bluetooth-equipped to help your selfies be much less of a struggle, and with a bit of the Facetune app, even the most dismal of self-portraits can be transformed into an Instagram hit!

As our smartphones become a more indispensable part of our lives, it’s also worthwhile to get a decent phone case to prevent it from getting scratched - or worse. Whilst I’m pretty impressed with Givenchy’s chic Rottweiler phone case, I wish that they would release a cat version for us feline-crazy females.

But I’ll probably be saving up to get some decent Beats headphones so that I can enjoy my Spotify playlists without annoying the rest of the household too much. These are great as they not only sound awesome, but come in a range of colours and styles to match whatever look you’re rocking at the moment.

I think I’ll also invest in one of those Amazon Fire Sticks so that I can effortlessly beam my favourite YouTube cat videos from my mobile to my television.

However, seeing as the new year is just around the corner, I’m sure that I’m not the only one who will be trying to shed a few pounds by joining the latest fitness craze.

And thankfully Fitbit’s latest range of wearable fitness trackers means that we can all get a more accurate measure of how many calories we’re burning. And what better way to reward yourself for your fitness efforts than just one more casino game at the end of your workout session!

Mane 'n Tail Hair Care + Win a Bundle for youself competition

The Mane 'n Tail hair care range created something of a buzz last year and it is not hard to understand why. Originally developed for horses, their owners reported seeing significant improvement in the health and appearance of not just their horses’ manes and tails but also on their own hair having used the products on themselves. So as the buzz was created, Mane 'n Tail was born.

Described as being the horse to human crossover shampoo for fuller, stronger, longer, healthier hair the exclusive micro-enriched protein formula creates a gentle rich fragrant lather that provides down to the scalp cleansing action without stripping natural oils leaving it soft, shiny and manageable. Not only is it safe for all hair types and chemically treated hair, but you can also use it on your dog and cat too!

Within the product range you will find Shampoo, Conditioner, leave-in conditioners, styling pomades, All-in-one products and Hand and Nail Therapy bringing in more than 25 products which is quite exhaustive and has something for every hair complaint.

I have been using some products from the Mane 'n Tail range for the past few weeks and it is easy to get what all the excitement is about. The Shampoo and Conditioner work so well with my hair which, depending on the time of the month can be dry, greasy or a bit of both. I have to watch my scalp because it can become sensitive if products are too strong, so I do where possible try to avoid the silicone based products because I can be left itching my scalp as though I have lice. The Mane 'n Tail Gentle Clarifying Shampoo is a revitalising formula dedicated to cleansing and moisturising from root to tip. Since I started to use these products, what I have noticed that you need just the smallest amount for it to work and by small, I mean no bigger than that 50p and it lathers really well, washes out really well and the feeling afterwards is soft, smooth shiny locks. I don't condition my hair every time I wash it, I do that every other wash and I have started to alternative been the Mane 'n Tail Gentle Replenishing Conditioner; which is a deeply nourishing formula that targets breakage and split ends to reveal repaired, healthy-looking hair and their Hair Strengthening Leave-in-Conditioner, so I am looking forward to seeing the results of those.

Alongside the hair care products I have been using Hoofmaker which is the Mane 'n Tail Hand and Nail Therapy. It is no secret that I adore hand cream and go through tubes of the stuff, so I have, for the time being switched to this to see how it fares. It is described as being a fast-absorbing, non-greasy, moisturising, protein-enriched formula which targets cracked, dry skin not just on the hands but also on the feet and body. Perfect for softening rough, callused areas, you can expect smooth, comfortable and rejuvenated skin all over the body. When it comes to using the cream, it does feel slightly different to other hand creams that I have used but it does, as described, it sinks in and disappears on contact, it leaves no greasy tacky residue behind and it does leave your hands, feet and I have used it on my legs - soft, smooth and really moisturised. I've suffered no irritations, my skin isn't dry and I just really really like the cream.

If this has been a brand on your wishlist, one you are intrigued to try having read my review then I have a competition with you giving you the chance to win one of each of those products I have mentioned above - Gentle Clarifying Shampoo, Gentle Clarifying Conditioner, Hair Strengthener Daily Leave-in-Conditioner and the Hoofmaker Hand and Nail Therapy

a Rafflecopter giveaway

If you cannot wait for this competition to end and want to get your hands on some products then you will find Mane 'n Tail products in Boots, Harvey Nichols, Liberty, Fenwicks, Bentalls and the main Urban Outfitters on Oxford Street.

The Glossybox January Detox Edition with Deliciously Stella!

This January GLOSSYBOX have partnered with comedian and Instagram sensation, Deliciously Stella to offer a tounge-in-cheek alternative to the obligatory New Year detox. ‘The Edible Edit’ January GLOSSYBOX features a selection of superfood-inspired additions to your beauty regime.

Inside the box are 5 products that all just look and sound incredible and I have already started using them before the review is posted! Inside the box you will find

NIP+FAB Kale Fix Moisturiser - A superfood powerhouse of Kale, Watercress and Almond Oil, this moisturiser enriches the skin and protects it against external aggressors such as pollution and stress. The use of Aloe Vera and Shea Butter help to soothe and smoothe the skin. 

What I have found with this is that it is incredibly hydrating. Having noticed a change in my skin given the dip in temperature, I am slapping on the overnight masks, using moisturising facemasks and ensuring I don't leave the house without my skin being fully protected.  The cream is quite a light texture and it definitely doesn't smell of vegetables when you do put it on your skin.

Unani Illuminate Milk Cleanser - This is described as being a gentle cleansing which is based on nutritious natural oils which purify and protect your skin by removing impurities such as makeup. 

I had never come across this brand before, but a little digging and they are infact a Spanish family business with over 10 years experience in the world of natural and organic cosmetics. Designed to be used both morning and evening.

Vitamasques Manuka Honey Face Mask - I absolutely love Korean skincare and this mask is made with extracts of nourishing Manuka Honey to nourish your skin. 

Inspired by Korean innovation, this is a triple layer sheet which is designed to enhance the moisture content within the mask and lead to an increased absorption rate within the skin. Once you have cleansed your face, you apply this mask and sit back, relax and wait for 20 minutes before removing.

True Organic of Sweden All You Need it Me! - This product is an award winning multi-purpose balm which I am already obsessed with. The tube is made from sugarcane not plastic and it works great on cracked and dry cuticles, heels, elbows and lips. Can be used as a nourishing scalp and hair mask. 

Also perfect as a lip gloss. Mosquito and insect bites, poison ivy, eczema, mild sunburn, red baby bottoms and rough dry gardening hands to name just a few. The texture is quite thick but similar to that of Dr Lipp (which I adore) and you only need a small amount and it melts with relative ease onto your skin.

The final item in the box is theBalm Meet Matt(e) Trimony Single Eyeshadow. 

I have Matt Moskowicz which can be found on the Meet Matt(e) Trimony palette and this shade is described as being a seasonal aubergine shade and whilst it is quite buttery to swatch, it is one of those shades which is definitely more Autumn and Winter than Spring/Summer in my humble opinion, but it is really pretty.

So there you have it, the Edible Edit with Deliciously Stella is available for £10 (+P&P) throughout January 2017 from www.glossybox.co.uk while stock lasts.  

If you are thinking about subscribing to Glossybox you will receive 3 extra beauty products when using code JANGIFT
